Recycle-ready Trains

Siemens – Environmental lifecycle assessments are playing an ever more important role in the rail industry. Siemens Rail Systems in Vienna is a pioneer, constructing its trains, subway cars and light rail vehicles so that they use as few resources and energy as possible during the manufacturing process as well as during operation. More and more attention is being paid to the reuse of obsolete rail vehicles as well. Through skillful selection of materials and manufacturing processes, the vehicles can be designed so that they can later be easily recycled. This enables Siemens Rail Systems to already recycle 95 percent of the materials. more> http://is.gd/MdxL02
